]]>I know I’m not alone when I say I love chocolate and peanut butter together. The semi-sweet and nutty flavor combination is something I crave on a regular basis…which can get a little out of hand. This smoothie satisfies my sweet tooth without the guilt. It’s packed with protein and potassium and isn’t too sweet to enjoy morning, noon, or night.

With the rising trend of peanut butter and cheddar sandwiches (Don’t believe me? Ask around, it’s pretty popular!), we thought it was time to combine the two ideas into one protein packed vegetarian sandwich. Four simple ingredients, one sweet and salty sandwich – don’t knock it ‘til you try it!

Roasted Strawberries
…are so good! Raw strawberries over ice cream are good, but roasted strawberries over ice cream are out-of-this-world good! They are also super easy to make!

Cut up your strawberries (however many you need, or should I say want!) and sprinkle them with a little sugar. Make sure the strawberries are evenly coated with sugar and pour them onto a baking sheet. Put them in a 350 degree oven for about 8 to 10 minutes, just until they get soft.

There are a lot of ways you could tweak this simple recipe to make it your own; drizzle them with balsamic vinegar, splitting open a vanilla bean and mix the seeds in before roasting, use brown sugar instead of white sugar, the options are endless!

Homemade Caramel Sauce
Homemade caramel sauce is my Achilles heel; I’ll eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. So the other night when I was craving some thick buttery caramel sauce to drizzle over my Tillamook Mudslide Ice Cream I found this recipe from Stephanie over at the Macaroni and Cheesecake blog. There really isn’t much to making caramel sauce, but you will want to keep an eye on it as it’s cooking. The sugar and water mixture will turn from clear to caramel brown pretty quick, and if you aren’t watching it can burn. (A word of advice; use a big pot. When you add the cream at the end it will bubble up like crazy!) Let the caramel cool a little bit and then put it in storage containers and keep it in the fridge!

]]>One day as my wife and I were walking through the freezer aisle of our local grocery store, we stopped in front of the Tillamook Ice Cream display. So many great flavors to choose from – Marionberry Pie, Oregon Strawberry, Udderly Chocolate, Cookie Dough and the list goes on – but one flavor stood out to my wife, Chocolate Peanut Butter. Before this fateful day, I’m not sure that I had ever had chocolate peanut butter ice cream, so I said, “Sure. If that’s what you want.” I don’t particularly care for chocolate ice cream as I find it too rich, but obliged my wife’s craving on this day. And what I found was another good choice by my wife (she’s so smart)!

We returned home, opened the container and scooped out a couple dollops. The ribbon of peanut-buttery goodness just below the layer of the chocolate excited us both. I let her take the first bite to see what her reaction was (she doesn’t really crave ice cream, so I thought her to be a good judge). Immediately her face lit up, and she opened her mouth to expose a half eaten nibble of ice cream so that she could say, “Oh my gosh! That is sooo good. Try it!” I had a similar reaction. The peanut butter melts in your mouth while the chocolate swims from taste bud to taste bud adding the perfectly sweet contrast to the slightly salty peanut butter. Perfection. Absolute perfection.

If you are ever having a hankering for some chocolate, some peanut butter, some ice cream, or some Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream – I implore you, look no further. You will remember what falling in love is! So grab a bowl and celebrate National Peanut Butter Lovers Day with Tillamook Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream!
